Blood Donors
Asked to Report
To Porterdale
Scarcely a person in Newton
County would stand back
when someone, friend or
stranger, regardless of race,
was caught in a burning build
। ing or drowning in a pool of
water, without trying sacrifi
cially to save that life. This is
the sort of thing you are ask
ed to do when you give a pint
of blood at the Bloodmobile
visits in Newton County.
Actually, there is no real
I sacrifice involved either for
your blood is not accepted if
you are not well enough and
able to contribute. You have
nothing to lose in offering to
give a pint of blood to be us
ed for saving lives, but you
have much to gain. For one
thing, you are insured of
coverage for you and your
family for the next three
months regardless of whether
your blood is accepted or not.
On the other hand, if you give
a pint of blood, you receive
guaranteed coverage for you
and your family for the next
six months, which can be of
immeasurable value should
you need it in an emergency.
The bloodmobile will visit
Porterdale on Monday, May
20, from 11 o'clock to five
o'clock that afternoon.
It does not cost anything to
give!
It does not hurt to give!
It satisfies beyond expres
sion to have the satisfaction of
sharing life with another.
James E. Hardman, the
Blood Program Chairman, in
Porterdale will be delighted to
have you volunteer to become
a donor or to give your ser
vice at the canteen.
This visit could he your
first but it need not be your
last!
Won’t you take a few min
utes and join your friends and
fellow citizens at the Ander
son Building on Monday?
